John needs 150 feet of rope to section off part of his barn. At a local hardware store he can buy a 30 yard spool for $24 or he can buy 150 foot at $.25 per foot. Which is the better buy?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

30 yards for 24 vs 1 foot for 25 cents

so lets multiple the yards by 3 to see how many feet

90 feet = 30 yards

90 feet 24 dollars

now lets divide 90 by 24

3.75 so 3.75 per foot

so the second one is way better

Hope This Helps!!!

Answer 2

Answer:

150 feet at $.25 per foot ($.75 per yard) is the better buy.

Step-by-step explanation:

150 feet is equal to 50 yards. So 2 30-yard spools would be $48. $48 for 60 yards equals $.80 per yard. So 150 feet at $.25 per foot ($.75 per yard) is the better buy.

A new phone system was installed last year to help reduce the expense of personal calls that were being made by employees. Before the new system was installed, the amount being spent on personal calls followed a normal distribution mean of $700 per month and a standard deviation of $50 per month

Answers

Using the normal distribution, it is found that there was a 0.9579 = 95.79% probability of a month having a PCE between $575 and $790.

Normal Probability Distribution

The z-score of a measure X of a normally distributed variable with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex] is given by:

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

The z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is above or below the mean. Looking at the z-score table, the p-value associated with this z-score is found, which is the percentile of X.

The mean and the standard deviation are given, respectively, by:

[tex]\mu = 700, \sigma = 50[/tex].

The probability of a month having a PCE between $575 and $790 is the p-value of Z when X = 790 subtracted by the p-value of Z when X = 575, hence:

X = 790:

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

[tex]Z = \frac{790 - 700}{50}[/tex]

Z = 1.8

Z = 1.8 has a p-value of 0.9641.

X = 575:

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

[tex]Z = \frac{575 - 700}{50}[/tex]

Z = -2.5

Z = -2.5 has a p-value of 0.0062.

0.9641 - 0.0062 = 0.9579.

0.9579 = 95.79% probability of a month having a PCE between $575 and $790.

Calculate the price per roll for each shop.
Write which shop is the best value for money in the comment box.
lidal:8 for 2.80

Answers

The price per roll for Lidal and Oldi shop is 0.35 and 0.36 respectively.

Therefore Lidal shop is the best value for money.

Given,

Lidal shop:

8 rolls costs  2.80

one roll costs = 2.80/8

                        = 0.35

Oldi shop:

9 rolls costs 3.24

one roll costs = 3.24/9

                        = 0.36

Hence we get the per price for the shops as 0.35 and 0.36

we can see that for lidal shop if per roll it is 0.35 then if a person wants to buy 9 rolls then it will cost him 3.15, whereas in the case of oldi shop the price for 9 rolls is 3.24.Therefore, lidal shop is the best value for money.

Use the given degree of confidence and sample data to construct a confidence interval for the population proportion p. n = 195, x = 126; 95% confidence

Using the z-distribution, the 95% confidence interval for the population proportion is (0.5791, 0.7133).

What is a confidence interval of proportions?

A confidence interval of proportions is given by:

[tex]\pi \pm z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}[/tex]

In which:

[tex]\pi[/tex] is the sample proportion.z is the critical value.n is the sample size.

In this problem, we have a 95% confidence level, hence[tex]\alpha = 0.95[/tex], z is the value of Z that has a p-value of [tex]\frac{1+0.95}{2} = 0.975[/tex], so the critical value is z = 1.96.

The other parameters are given as follows:

[tex]n = 195, \overline{p} = \frac{126}{195} = 0.6462[/tex]

Hence the bounds of the interval are:

[tex]\pi - z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}} = 0.6462 - 1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.6462(0.3538)}{195}} = 0.5791[/tex]

[tex]\pi + z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}} = 0.6462 + 1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.6462(0.3538)}{195}} = 0.7133[/tex]

In order for the parallelogram to be a rhombus, x=[?]. (9x+31) 32
HELP NEEDED ASAP

Answers

X = 3



Explanation:

In a rhombus, the diagonals are perpendicular, creating four congruent right triangles.


Because the value of all three angles within any given triangle will add up to 180°, we can easily simplify the equation.

First, we’ll need to add our given angles. Which are 32° (as can be seen on the graph) and 90° (because any pair of perpendicular lines create four right angles and this triangle includes one of them).

32° + 90° = 122°


Next, we’ll subtract 122 from 180 to find the remaining angle measure

180 - 122 = 58

Then, we’ll subtract 31 with the subtraction property of equality

58 - 31 = 27

Right now, our equation looks like:

27 = 9x


In order to simplify this equation further, we must use the division property of equality to get x on its own.

27/9 = 9x/9

3 = x

Three postal workers can sort a stack of mail in 45 minutes, 25 minutes, and 225 minutes, respectively. Find how long it takes them to sort the mail if all three work together.

Answers

If the three postal workers sort the mail together or work in parallel, it will take them 15 minutes.

What is parallel working?

Parallel working refers to the system that can process a common task simultaneously by many workers communicating with one another.

When workers perform the same task together, they tend to achieve greater speed, unlike when they work individually without communicating.

Data and Calculations:

Time to sort a stack of mail by A = 45 minutes or 1/45

Time to sort a stack of mail by B = 25 minutes or 1/25

Time to sort a stack of mail by C = 1/225

Time for the three workers to sort the stack together = 1/45 + 1/25 + 1/225

= 15 minutes (5 + 9 + 1)

Thus, if the three postal workers sort the mail together or work in parallel, it will take them 15 minutes.

100 POINTS!! Find the indicated angle or side. Give an exact answer.
Find the measure of angle A in degrees.

Answers

Answer:

A = 120

Step-by-step explanation:

To find angle A we will need to use the law of cosines, since we know the three sides of the triangle.

a^2=b^2+c^2−2*b*c*cosA

(2 sqrt(13)) ^2 = 6^2 + 2^2  + 2 * 6 * 2 cos A

4*13 = 36 + 4 - 24 cos A

52 = 40- 24 cos A

12 = -24 cos A

-1/2 = cos A

Take the inverse cos of each side

cos^-1(-1/2) = cos^-1(cos A)

120 = Cos A  or 240 = Cos A

A cannot be greater than 180 so A = 120

Answer:

A = 120°

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use the cosine rule to solve for angle A, since lengths of all sides are known:

[tex]a^2 = b^2+ c^2 - 2(b)(c) \space\ cos A[/tex]

where a, b, and c are the sides opposites angles A, B, and C respectively.

a = 2√3 , b = 6, c = 2

• Rearranging the formula to make A the subject:

[tex]2(b)(c) \space\ cos A = b^2 + c^2 -a^2[/tex]

⇒  [tex]cos A = \frac{b^2 + c^2 -a^2}{2(b)(c)}[/tex]

⇒  [tex]A = cos^{-1}(\frac{b^2 + c^2 -a^2}{2(b)(c)} )[/tex]

• Now we can substitute the values into the equation to calculate the value of angle A:

[tex]A = cos^{-1}(\frac{6^2 + 2^2 -(2\sqrt{13})^2}{2(6)(2)} )[/tex]

⇒  [tex]A = cos^{-1} (-\frac{1}{2} )[/tex]

⇒  A = 120°

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer

When you translate either left or right, the x coordinate is the one that you change. To go right when you are dealing with a point, you must add the amount you are asked to go right.  So when you go right 3 units, add 3 to the 5.

(5 + 3,1) = (8,1)
